This is all kinds of amazing, thought you guys would like it. ;-)
The Video:
YouTube - Lego Antikythera Mechanism
Watch an Apple Engineer Recreate a 2,000-Year-Old Computer Using Legos | Co.Design
"Here's a brand new stop-motion video showing the device's inner workings -- and an interview with its creator, Andrew Carol. Remember that old commercial about "Zack, the Lego maniac"? Well, Zack ain't got nothing on Andrew Carol. When Carol's not working on improving the finer points of OS X as a software engineer at Apple, he's hard at work building analog computers -- like the Babbage difference engine -- entirely out of Legos."

Amazing. I have to wonder if that guy is in charge of the development of Time Machine.

Some people have way too much time on their hands, but impressive none the less!

Research is fascinating all by itself. When that research answers a number of questions-especially if those questions are a collection of ancient and modern-it's positively exciting. Adding in Lego makes it even cooler!
